it's true. you live from our new center here in moscow and our breaking news story that all members of the u.n. security council of voted to extend the observer mission to syria for a final thirty days and then escalating violence across the country western backed resolution contains no threat of sanctions which russia strongly opposes. meanwhile russian officials have denied media reports claiming they have information that president assad's prepared to step down also on the list of dispelled rumors as an offer of asylum to both assad and his wife. and police great angry crowds were to gas and rubber bullets in the streets of spain as the public rages against the latest wave of a steady imposed on the country in return for

a bank rescue by the. i'll be back with another summary for in about fifteen minutes from now meantime in an exclusive interview with r.t. i spoke to russia's ambassador to the u.n. after he vetoed the resolution yesterday. mr chicken russia's decision to veto this latest resolution has caused consternation and widespread criticism of moscow's stance is russia supporting the assad regime. of course not about what needs to be done in order to settle the crisis unfortunately the strategy of our western colleagues to seems to be to try to whip up tensions in and around syria at every opportunity and this time they took the occasion of the need to extend the mandate of the monitoring mission in syria and attached

a number of unacceptable clauses to their draft resolution so we needed to talk together with china that unacceptable draft to a local fan and more space to work on the document which was adopted the. foreign minister of a number of countries of the so-called action group which is that which calls for setting up a transitional national body and that requires of course dialogue between various parties so in this context to introduce a resolution which would only entailed pressure and almost inevitable sanctions on the syrian government did not look like a good idea to us at all and when they. blocked a decision which in our view was going to put counterproductive so moscow not supporting the assad regime but america britain and france say that russia has failed the syrian people today how how do you react to that. well you know you know you know. there are quite good and bad and loud propaganda i think

what they have been doing in criticizing russia and china and some sometimes quite stridently today it was the british and the french. who went out of their way unfortunately all sorts of false false who's on the foreign policies of russia and china they should focus more on on the need to. help unfortunately they have done anything at all in order to set them train a productive and positive process in in syria instead they have been working. with the so-called friends of syria in fact. this is a group of countries who are enemies of the syrian government i wouldn't call them enemies of the syrian people but certainly those who want to topple the syrian government this regarding the consequences which are extremely tragic which. inevitably entails because the government or president our side it's not simply one

individual or a group of individuals they represent of course a certain segment of the of the syrian population a certain power structure which has existed there for decades so to break it would cause and is causing trying to break a considerable trouble and bloodshed to reform and through dialogue this would be a much more reasonable a line of action and this is what russia has been advocated dialogue hasn't achieved anything so far isn't that now an overwhelming global sentence is something has to be done to stop the killing of innocent people and what about intervention on humanitarian grounds is not acceptable to moscow moscow is very concerned about chapter seven i don't want to get into technical does it protect chapter seven leading to perhaps military intervention but what about some form of intervention to stop the killing. well in a way the money group which. have been paying is a way of of

a sort of political intervention in trying to a practical intervention and trying to deter violence unfortunately it hasn't happened it hasn't been successful i mean you said the dialogue has not achieved anything the problem is that the dialogue has not started yet the opposition groups refused to enter into dialogue with this with the syrian government which says it is prepared for dialogue they should try that all four of the syrian government to enter into dialogue this is a major mason missing link a major impediment in the way of coffee and an activity you know humanitarian intervention unfortunately it only sounds humane but the fact of the matter is that any military intervention for whatever reason is inevitably going to cause more bloodshed bloodshed and you know we know that those greatest humanists in the world u.s. and u.k. intervened in iraq for instance citing all sorts of noble protects in that

particular case nonexistent weapons of mass destruction what of course is one hundred fifty fifty thousand civilian deaths alone to say nothing of you know millions of refugees displaced persons and the whole dislocation in the country so don't be duped by committee in the humint in communitarian rhetoric there is much more geopolitics in their policy in syria than of humanism and unfortunately the practical consequences of the of their policy is that that the conflict and bloodshed is not abating you mention geopolitics and understand that you mention the fact that what's happening in syria is actually a name don't what's going to happen in iran eventually can you explain that that iran is the eventual goal i don't know why. i did refer to iran but in a slightly different context i wouldn't rule out that then they will move or move on to iran but i. i was not referring to that i was in my remarks of the stakeout earlier today in the united nations i was referring to their clear interest and

this is a major motivation of the policy and their effort to topple president assad in curbing iranian influence. in the middle east in that region and it's also a major motivation of the other middle eastern the fight there is for the marcos' saudi arabi and qatar who are concerned about what they see iranian interests of course in bahrain as well they claim that the she approaches there is a sort of iranian sponsored even though some observers including your colleagues journalists who have experienced on the ground believe that it happens to be genuine protest. against a system which is not entirely democratic to put it mildly so clear a geo political dimension is there in the policies of a number of countries who are extremely aggressive these are the syria and it is nothing to do with the interests of the syrian people because again what the

sealskin who need is to find yes can i ask you though what is the worry for moscow will these geo political implications which explains clearly why it is more you know we are not it well not in what way could moscow be effective we are not what are the about. well we're not what are the geopolitical implications of that particular saying even though we believe that the greater confrontation with iran is hurting. is unnecessary and of course we are directly involved in the stories of peacefully the problem of the iranian nuclear program and there are growing tension between iran and the west and it is it is not it's not it's not helpful our concern is that the syrian people have to suffer the consequences of this geopolitical geopolitical struggle and our concern is that the focus of

everybody's policy must be the benefit of the syrian people and the only way they can put an end to this tragic conflict is to get to the negotiating table and the ground there is a document which which was a consensus document adopted by the group of action foreign ministers in geneva two and a half weeks ago which says that at the incisional national border needs to set up to be set up and it cannot be set up by by sanctions it cannot be set up by more pressure on just one side of the syrian government which is claiming that it is ready for the locals there's a need that it's a representative for such a dialogue but so far the interest from their position is not there and we see extreme opposition groups are in the position groups resorting to more and more violence and even terrorist attacks like the one we saw yesterday in the masters this is not to say. the syrian government has not exhorter it has not resorted to excessive violence of the time at times or made very serious mistakes and

blunders over the months but the time to end that unless we wanted to continue for years is to enter into dialogue. russia has really stuck by its principles of intervention is it not there. in danger of being isolated bearing in mind the continual vetoing of the sanctions in the un security council and of course the supplying of military hardware to syria all the most of course says that this is not being used against civilians but this what does it do for russia's reputation and indeed its relations after this crisis is over. well we'll see we'll see i think doing the right of the right thing and not simply following somebody is a. catastrophic policy is something which makes makes me proud is something which eventually will be borne out of the right course of action on the right policy. under these very difficult circumstances and. if i'm

not mistaken the united states is sixty vetoes on the palestinian issue alone so why don't you. question my american colleagues about the impact of the image of the united states in the middle east of the continuous veto sometimes even between their own presidential and secretary of state public statements so you know veto is a part of the u.n. charter there is nothing wrong about casting it when you feel the need to do so can we talk about what happens next now no agreement in the u.n. security council but russia has said that they would like to see an extension of the u.n. observer mission to syria but the monitors and visible impact so far what is the point in keeping the mission alive when so far it's failed. what the what will be the point of the other part was saying that at least we have a more chance to get objective information if it's there or if the situation we

have to improve there will be on the ground already so they will be able to participate more actively in the in the political process and also the in dealing with a humanitarian situation so pulling them all to is going to entail negative consequences and one to avoid that unfortunately now here on we seem to be undergoing another sort of a little diplomatic battle now we are going to have a discussion it will be to making it the technical role without loading it with political conditions and implications thank you very much indeed but we'll leave it there because each other can we really appreciate you sure i'm russian ambassador to the u.n. thank you very much indeed for explaining moscow the situation during this crisis now thank you.
